Chapter 21 Boom 021 I climb a tree and you pick me up from below... Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 20 Boom 020 When I came back, I went directly to the construction corps...Next chapter: Chapter 22 Boom 022 Climbing a tree and picking green plums "This child is really lazy." Shi Rushuang hadn't seen her daughter come out after dinner, so she couldn't help but complain to her sisters-in-law: "The last time I took her back to my grandparents' house was for the Chinese New Year, and I was with her last night I told you to get up early today and rush back for lunch..."

"Come on, come on!" Gu Qingqing bit the leftover steamed flower roll from yesterday, combed her hair with her right hand, and said vaguely: "Auntie, please help me braid it. It's a nice braid."

"You can't finish eating first." Shi Rushuang looked at her daughter like this, took the wooden comb from her hand, and said helplessly: "Come here, I'll braid you a three-strand braid. ."

Gu Qingqing squatted down a little to make it easier for her mother to comb her hair.

Zhang Yuqing listened to her sister-in-law's ramblings while taking inventory of the things she brought home, including a box of biscuits, three bottles of canned yellow peaches, several packets of vegetable seeds, and a hundred kilograms of food stamps and eight taels of oil stamps.

"Our Qingqing's hair is really well maintained. It's black, shiny and slippery." She took out a bottle of canned yellow peach and put it on the table: "Let our Qingqing take this with you if you feel thirsty on the way." "Thank you, Third Aunt

. ! Third aunt is the best." Gu Qingqing was still chewing the flower roll in her mouth, but her eyes were already fixed on the cans on the table.

"You can take it back to your in-laws and aunt to eat. Don't spoil her like this. My mother's family is only a morning's journey away, so she won't be hungry." Shi Rushuang declined.

"I still have some here. I left them for my parents." Zhang Yuqing picked up the things and called to Gu Weiguo: "Change into a pair of unpatched cloth shoes and go say hello to your grandma and grandma. We are going back to your grandma's house." "

Okay!" A clear voice came from the backyard. Gu Weiguo had just finished watering his private plot.

Except for Gu Tiezhu, Zhang Cuifen and the few people who were going back to their parents' homes, everyone else went to work. Han Lianxin rummaged through and found three 15-foot-long cloth tickets and gave them to Shi Rushuang: "Sister-in-law, our family is full of brats. This The cloth tickets issued by the team at the end of last year are of little use. You can use it to pull some cloth for Qingqing and go to the tailor shop to make some clothes. I heard that it is colder in the Corps than here, so you need to prepare two pairs of long sleeves. Oh."

"Sure," Shi Rushuang counted the cloth tickets in her hand and said without being polite to her: "Wait for me, let's go to town together."

"Don't be anxious, Auntie Auntie. The Hongqi production team will go to the commune in a while to deliver food. We just happen to take their tractor to the town." Gu Qingqing's watery eyes flickered, and there was frost on her nose

. Give it a light scrape.

"You little clever guy."

Gu Yuanchao carried a hundred kilograms of millet on one shoulder and followed his eldest aunt, second aunt, and grandma. Gu Qingqing followed him and kept chattering: "Brother, you said so Aren't the green plums on taller trees more delicious?"

"I don't know, brother." Gu Yuanchao walked without panting, "Brother has never eaten it, how about we give it a try?" "

Then I will Can you climb a tree for me?" Gu Qingqing was eager to give it a try.

Gu Yuanchao thought for a moment: "I'd better climb, there are many insects on the tree."

"I'm not afraid!"

Shi Rushuang turned around with a headache: "Qingqing, can you be like a girl and be quiet."

Cheng The girls here are all pretty and pretty. Qing Lie wrote in the past that there are many elegant girls in the military art troupe. She feels that it would be a bit difficult to find a partner in the army with her daughter's fiery and restless temperament.

The more resolute a man is, the more he likes gentle ones. Although no one in the Gu family is gentle, the men of the Gu family are not that tough-tempered.

They just put a smile on their face and put the anger in your heart away.

"Auntie, I can't do it~" Gu Qingqing made a face at her and continued to discuss with Gu Yuanchao about taking out bird eggs.

Shi Rushuang was worried: "...Lian Xin, I think this beloved child of the old Gu family will probably be thrown into his hands." Han Lianxin laughed so hard that her branches trembled, hugged Zhang Yuqing's arm, and said, "It's okay,

we With so many men in the family, we can afford to raise a sweetheart for a lifetime." "

Yes, my parents must also want Qingqing to stay with them for a while." "

That's what I say," I really want my daughter to be like this when she gets married. Shuang was really reluctant to give up, but she couldn't always keep her by her side and delay her: "Forget it, let's see how Qinglie arranges it."

Her two sons and one daughter all had their own plans, and the parents could only help.

"Hey, the tractor from the Hongqi Production Team is here!" Han Lian heard the rumbling sound with sharp ears, and pulled Shi Rushuang and Zhang Yuqing to run towards the curb.

"Uncle Yu, please give us a ride!" Zhang Yuqing waved.

"Old Gu family, you guys with big bags are going back to your parents' house?" Uncle Yu looked carefully and smiled: "Come up quickly, we just have to go to the grain bureau today to hand in the task, and your production team's grain purchase is still there. Didn't you deliver it?"

"Yes, the abacus is still being counted." Shi Rushuang grabbed her nephew's hand, climbed up with her legs, sat on the tractor loaded with grains, and pulled her sisters and daughter up. .

After they all got on, the tractor resumed driving on the dirt road, raising dust all over the sky.

Gu Qingqing was hit with ashes on her head. She raised her hand to wipe her face. Listening to the rumbling sound, she finally understood why her father was so keen on growing cash crops.

Datunzi Village and Dagouzi Village cover a large area, mostly uncultivated wasteland and hillsides. The Hongqi production team next door covers less than half their area, but various plantings are in full swing. The value of one worker reaches 60 or 70 cents, which is the largest share of all production The first in line.

The Hongqi production team has two tractors, its own rice milling and ginning factory, and an oil pressing mill. The collective economy is booming.

Not to mention anything else, their production team had to use oxcarts to pull the summer grain back and forth several times to the grain bureau. Unlike the Hongqi production team, they could just make two trips with the tractor.

Her father is jealous of tractors!

Tractors can be used for plowing, transporting, ditching, and irrigation. How much manpower will the production team save by having such a treasure?

"Your production should be good this year, right? The weather is good this year. It needs sunshine and rain. It's not like drought or flood in previous years." Uncle Yu looked at the road ahead and continued: "We have more than a dozen production teams in our commune. Your invincible production team has the most land, more than two thousand acres!"

No matter how thick-skinned Gu Qingqing is, she still feels a little uncomfortable when she hears the name of the production team.

When Mr. Xu just took office, he was full of energy and had a tendency to leave all the production teams behind, so he reported such a name.

As a result, the name was too loud, and the grand ideal was aborted. Among the fifteen brigades, the Invincible Production Team competed with the Feiyue Production Team for the bottom one or two every year.

At the top of the list, apart from the Red Flag Production Team, is the Red Star Production Team. The Invincible Production Team has never been in the top ten.

"Although your production team doesn't have much cultivated land, the score is high." Shi Rushuang shook his head and sighed: "We have enough land to eat, but at the end of the year we don't have any money. You can do as much as we do for three or four days in one day." I also raised silkworms, weaved and planted fruit trees. I got a lot of dividends at the end of the year." "

That's right." Uncle Yu laughed loudly: "The cadres of our Hongqi production team are all very powerful."

Auntie listened. While the aunts were talking, Gu Qingqing was holding the linen bag under her butt with both hands. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed the refreshing wind blowing in front of her. I was thinking about when their Datunzi Village and Dagouzi Village would be able to live a prosperous life like the Red Flag Brigade.

However, her father, Uncle Qin and Uncle Yang, are very motivated, and with the help of Brother Meng Nan and the others, as well as the hard-working villagers, she believes that such a day will come soon.

"We're here." After a bumpy ride, Uncle Yu placed them at the bus stop and waved his hand.

A burst of black smoke came out from behind the tractor, and after a burst of roar, the tractor carrying grain headed towards the Grain Bureau.

There are only two buses in the town, one runs short distance, that is, within the province, departing at 8 am and returning at 5 pm.

There is also a long-distance car that drives at 8:30 in the morning and returns at 2 in the afternoon the next day.

Gu Qingqing and the others were lucky. They saw the oncoming bus as soon as they got off the tractor.

Shi Rushuang and Zhang Yuqing's parents' families were from neighboring cities. Gu Xiong helped Gu Yuanchao put the millet on the table and told him: "Take good care of Sister Qing and don't let her run around in the mountains and old forests. My aunt is there on the mountain. Wild boar, be careful, don't get bitten."

"I know, I know, brother, please bring more walnuts back, I haven't eaten them in a long time."

"Sure." Gu Xiong patted him on the shoulder, "Get in the car."

Gu Qingqing sat at the window seat and waved to Gu Xiong and Han Lianxin. Gu Yuanchao sat next to her and took out a handful of fried rice from his pocket. The cooked soybeans were given to her as snacks.

Seeing that the seats were full, the conductor motioned to the driver to drive. She came over with a black nylon bag slung across her body to collect the money, and a stack of square bills in her hand.

"Little girl, two cents." The conductor lowered his head, pulled down a ticket, and handed it to Gu Qingqing.

"Sister Dahong, this is my daughter and nephew, we are together." Shi Rushuang and Zhang Yuqing sat together, and Gu Weiguo sat behind.

She called the conductor's nickname affectionately. Zhang Dahong was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Ah, I really didn't notice, this is Qingqing! She is so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize her." There were only two people in the town

. Almost everyone on this bus knew the conductor, but Zhang Dahong was from the Hongqi production team and was considered an acquaintance with Shi Rushuang.

"Isn't that right? This child goes back to her grandparents' house and takes the bus once a year. You can't recognize that it's normal." "

Hey, the girl's 18th change." Although Zhang Dahong was chattering, collecting money and tickets His hands never stopped.

Shi Rushuang counted out a dime from the cloth bag and handed it over. No matter how far away the province was, everyone got two cents.

Zhang Dahong glanced at Gu Qingqing, who was leaning on Gu Yuanchao's shoulder and chewing beans, and gave her five tickets, "Rushuang, your Qingqing will be seventeen or eighteen this year, right? Let's talk about it." Are you interested?"

"Not yet." Shi Rushuang took the ticket and put the change back into his pocket.

Zhang Yuqing wanted to give her sister-in-law car money, but Shi Rushuang refused to accept it.

Seeing that Zhang Dahong was about to speak again, she glanced at her niece, who was talking to her son with her head tilted, and added with a smile: "But it's coming soon." When Zhang Dahong heard this, he immediately fell silent, feeling a little regretful

.

The conditions of the Gu family are really good, and their kindness is well-known throughout the country. In addition, Shi Rushuang's two sons are very successful, one is in the Corps and the other is in the Air Force.

The children of the Gu family are all highly sought after.

Chapter 22 Boom 022 Climbing a tree and picking green plums Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 21 Prosperous 021 I climb a tree and you pick me up from below...Next chapter: Chapter 23 Prosperous 023 Brother, you are much smarter than my elder brother Shi Rushuang sensed the smell from Zhang Dahong's expression, gently poked Zhang Yuqing with her arm, and said with a smile: "We haven't talked to the boys yet. Sister Dahong, you know a lot of people. If there is a suitable one, I have to think about your nephews."

"It's easy to talk about." Zhang Dahong was coaxed by her words to smile.

When Shi Rushuang's family came home recently, she said hello to Zhang Yuqing and got off the car. Gu Weiguo helped his eldest brother carry the food on his shoulders before getting back on the bus: "Auntie, help me ask my grandpa, grandma, and uncles. Let's go back tomorrow and see you tomorrow."

"Okay." Shi Rushuang waved her hand: "See you tomorrow, Weiguo."

"See you tomorrow, brother." Gu Qingqing smiled playfully and waved her little hand towards the car window.

"Let's go." Shi Rushuang took her daughter's hand and walked next to Gu Yuanchao. She looked up at the fierce sun in the sky and said, "It's noon. Let's walk quickly and go back to eat." The harvest production team where Shi's family was

from Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the land is barren and barren. Except for the wild fruit trees on the mountains, almost nothing grows.

Along the way, they saw piles of straw tied up in scattered terraces. The sun has been good recently, and the straw can be dried for cattle to eat, and can also be thrown into pig farms for pigs to spend the winter.

Looking at the sparse haystacks, Shi Rushuang suddenly tightened her daughter's hand, then relaxed it, and sighed: "Although our family is not too rich, we can still have enough food and clothing. Your grandfather's family is here The grain output here is too low, and sweet potatoes are the most eaten food throughout the year..."

At this point, Shi Rushuang felt so confused that she couldn't continue talking.

"Did grandma eat sweet potatoes every day when she was a child?" Gu Qingqing held her arm and asked softly.

"When I was a kid, I had to eat potatoes every other meal. How can I eat them every day?" Shi Rushuang rubbed her daughter's little head and looked at her nephew who was standing next to her: "You can still carry it when you support Korea." No?"

Gu Yuanchao grabbed the gray linen strap on his shoulder with his right hand, raised his left hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and showed his small white teeth: "It's a joke, be gentle, don't worry about me." Shi Rushuang burst out laughing

. .

They came just in time to catch up with the meal. Gu Qingqing and her grandmother heard the creak of the courtyard door and said to the eldest daughter-in-law next to her: "Is Rushuang back? Go and have a look." "Hey

, Okay, mother, please take a look at the sorghum rice in the pot and make sure it doesn't burn." He Qiushui wiped his hands on his clothes and went to the entrance of the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law." Shi Rushuang was the first to say with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for more than half a year." "

Yes, you said you would come back as soon as you came back. You always carry so many things." He Qiushui helped to take it. The cloth bag called inside again: "Qingzhou, come out and help Chao unload his things. It's hard for this kid to carry such a big bag so far by himself." "Come on, come on." Shi Qingzhou belongs to the Shi family.

The eldest grandson, the son of Gu Qingqing's eldest uncle Shi Lianyun and He Qiushui, is tall and lean. Gu Qingqing can't help but compare her cousin Gu Xiong with him every time.

Of course, my cousin was completely defeated.

Shi Qingzhou helped Gu Yuanchao carry the millet to the granary, "I'll count one, two, three, can we throw it together?" "

Sure." Gu Yuanchao let go with him, and the sack fell to the ground with a "bang", causing a splash. Ground dust.

Shi Qingzhou put his arms around Gu Yuanchao's shoulders and walked over. The two of them were already very familiar with each other and said, "Let's go eat." "

Okay."

"Qingqing, eat more. Look at this thin face. There's no more meat." Zhou Man handed a cornmeal bun to his granddaughter, and he only ate the steamed sweet potato cubes in the bowl.

"Yes, we Qingqing look thinner than during the Chinese New Year, and we seem to be darker." Shi Ji agreed with his old wife and pushed the bowl of cornmeal buns in front of Gu Yuanchao: "Let's get busy these days. , your production team has a lot of fields, so people must be spinning around."

"Grandpa, the autumn plowing is almost finished." Gu Yuanchao had a good appetite and was tired from carrying the millet all the way. He chatted vaguely with them while biting Cornmeal buns.

Shi Rushuang smiled and served him a bowl of sorghum rice mixed with cabbage and red beans, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Rushuang, stay at home for one night today and go back tomorrow. Qingqing hasn't been back for a long time. I'll ask your sister-in-law to spread the quilt later. Before you two sleep in your room, Yuanchao and Qingzhou are crowded." Zhou When Man said this to his daughter, his kind eyes fell on his granddaughter.

The Gu family is good-looking. Her eldest grandson Canyang combines the advantages of daughter and uncle. She is so handsome. The younger grandson and granddaughter are still a little worse than their eldest brother, but they are not bad either.

Gu Qingqing had eyebrows, big almond eyes, and her originally round oval face had lost some weight due to the busy schedule of farming, so it became more contoured.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm full." Gu Qingqing put down the bowl and chopsticks and kicked Gu Yuanchao, who was still picking up rice: "Brother, are you full?" "I'm full." Gu Yuanchao finished his bowl

. He put the last cabbage leaf in the bag and wiped his mouth: "Grandpa, grandma, I will accompany Qingqing to go for a walk in the back mountain." "Okay, you go." How could Shi Ji not know that his

little skin monkey is thinking about the green plums on the mountain? "Don't climb up. There are snakes on the treetops. Just stand below with a bamboo pole and beat them." "

Hey, okay."

"Qing Qing," Gao Haiyue said with a big belly and brought her a bamboo basket from behind the door. : "Come back early. If it's late, the wild boar will go down the mountain to dig for food in the fields." "I know,

little aunt, you go back to the house and lie down quickly."

Shi Qingzhou had a companion to play with, and he hurriedly grabbed two mouthfuls of rice and then picked up a bamboo pole from the corner to follow. Gone.

He Qiushui couldn't help laughing: "We have to work in the afternoon. I'm afraid this kid Qingzhou will go crazy." "Children

, let them go. The next time we meet is the Chinese New Year. Haiyue, your sister-in-law will do it this afternoon." Want to come over?" Shi Rushuang asked her sister-in-law after chatting with her sister-in-law for a while.

"Yes, we should be here in a while. My parents' house is very close, so it will only take an hour for me to come here." Gao Haiyue rubbed her belly and sat down on the table. Shi Liancai kept his eyes on his daughter-in-law and hurriedly handed over Past a steamed bun.

"I almost forgot." Shi Rushuang stood up and took out two cans of malted milk from the gray cloth bag. "This is what my third brother and sister brought back from the city for my mother to eat. My mother said that Haiyue was about to give birth, so she insisted on me bringing it with her. Come and give her confinement.”

"My mother-in-law has taken the trouble. The Gu family, from the old man and lady to the younger generation, is really kind. Canyang Qinglie is not at home. Every year, Xiongwa and his brothers take turns delivering food." The most proud thing in Zhou Man's life is My daughter married into a good family and gave birth to a pair of promising grandsons and a ghostly granddaughter.

Shi Ji often whispered in her ears that her granddaughter was no worse than her two grandsons and was the smartest child in the old Gu family.

"Rushuang."

Thinking of this, Zhou Man couldn't help but ask: "Have you heard from Canyang and Qinglie?" Qingqing is not too young for the village, but the two grandsons had already said it before going to the army, Qingqing They will take care of the matter.

"Here we come." Shi Rushuang pursed her lips and smiled: "Qingqing just came here to pick some green plums to send to her second brother, and to see how the boy is doing." She said so, but Shi Rushuang knew that her

daughter Already obsessed.

I was so stunned when I saw the photo, but it’s even better when I saw the real person. Shi Ji and Zhou Man looked at each other with a relaxed smile in their eyes: "Qing Lie picked it, it must be right." There was harmony and joy here. On the hillside, Gu Yuanchao was holding a bamboo basket and looking up

with some melancholy.

Looking at the girl on the tree -

"Qingqing, that's it. Don't climb up on the sharp point. If you fall, your brother will be beaten when he comes back." "It's okay,

I know what I know. Brother, go pick it up in the grass." Gu Qingqing held the tree branch and shook it vigorously. Shi Qingzhou held the bamboo pole and whipped the tree next to it so hard that the leaves and green plums fell to the ground.

Gu Yuanchao was hit on the head many times by green plums, and some green leaves fell off him.

Looking at the person on the tree, and then at the boy next to him who was doing the hard work, he simply found a tree trunk and sat against it, clasping his fingers on the rough bark, waiting for them to finish picking it up together.

Gu Qingqing sat on a branch of a tree, her feet swaying, and she picked up a green plum, wiped it on her clothes, and brought it to her mouth.

As soon as she took a bite, the sour and astringent juice filled her mouth. Her facial features wrinkled up, she squinted her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and threw down the remaining half of the green plum.

"Why does the second brother like to eat such sour food?" Gu Qingqing took a while to regain her composure, "No amount of sugar can cover it up." "Qingqing, are you okay? Come down and don't pick it

. It's over." After half an hour, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, Gu Yuanchao bent over and started picking green plums.

"Wait a little longer, brother." Gu Qingqing still wanted to say something.

"You'll never get tan again," Gu Yuanchao used his trump card: "You're going to the corps in two days. I heard that all the girls in the art troupe are white..." Before he could finish his words, Gu Qingqing was already sliding along the trunk of the tree

. He came down, patted the dust on his hands, pointed at his face, and asked doubtfully: "Am I very dark now?" Gu Yuanchao poked Shi Qingzhou's arm, but Shi Qingzhou didn't react, and said honestly: "That's it

. A little whiter than us."

After hearing this, Gu Qingqing burst into tears.

"..." Gu Yuanchao had a headache.

Why is this boy from the Shi family so careless?

The two brothers picked up a bamboo basket full. Gu Qingqing was still crying. Shi Qingzhou was a little at a loss and asked in a low voice: "Did I say something wrong?" Gu Yuanchao put the bamboo basket on his back and looked at

him sideways. : "No."

Shi Qingzhou grabbed the strap of the backpack and looked blankly at his cousin who was sniffing with snot and tears.

I couldn't help but scratch my head.

What to do.

"Qingqing, brothers are joking. We Qingqing are whiter than the educated youth in the city..." Gu Yuanchao walked up to her and raised his sleeves to wipe her tears.

"No, brother, my legs hurt." Gu Qingqing lifted up her pants pitifully, and the two red marks on her calves were clearly visible. "Huh? Did you get there?" Upon seeing this, Gu Yuanchao crouched down quickly, took a look, and sighed: "Sister, listen to me, don't crawl next time." "Okay." Gu Qingqing nodded and looked at it

eagerly.

Looking at him.

Gu Yuanchao knelt down in front of her, feeling distressed and a little helpless: "Come up."

Chapter 23 Boom 023 Brother, you are much smarter than the elder brother Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 22 Boom 022 Climbing a tree and picking green plumsNext chapter: Chapter 24 Prosperity 024 How about taking him home for the New Year... The rest of the Shi family went to work in the fields, while Shi Rushuang and Gao Haiyue were enjoying the shade under the shed in the yard.

"This little dress is so well sewn and feels soft to the touch." Gao Haiyue took the postpartum clothes Zhang Cuifen made for the baby in her belly and looked at it over and over again. She was filled with joy when she thought about the baby who was about to be born.

"As long as you don't mind that they are made from old clothes," Shi Rushuang held a cattail leaf fan in her hand and said happily with squinted eyes, "My mother is really clever with her hands. Qingqing was very skinny when she was a child. She would go up the mountain to dig out bird eggs and catch loaches in the river. While digging for crabs, I came back with holes in my clothes and pants."

Recalling this, Shi Rushuang couldn't help laughing: "At that time, all the cloth tickets were used to make clothes for her, and we couldn't buy new cloth, so my mother used the old ones. Cut the fabric into a pattern of a bunny and sew it on for her." "

Although I grew up with patches on top of patches, they are also beautiful patches, and this child even shows off to her friends."

Gao Haiyue also said He smiled and kept stroking the small clothes on his legs with his fingers. His eyes were soft: "Children, that's how they are. But your mother-in-law is really kind. After threshing the grain every year, she still asks the juniors to come and deliver food."

If Rushuang doesn't come back, the Gu family will deliver food three times a year. They have already delivered it twice this year, including early rice and summer food. They can also deliver food once during the Chinese New Year.

"Yes, I am satisfied to be able to marry into the Gu family in this life." Shi Rushuang slowly shook her fan, and the cool wind filled her heart.

Gao Haiyue's eyes were a little envious and a little sad.

In fact, her family is also very good, and she gets along well with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law, but she will never be as close as the Gu family.

Sister-in-law He Qiushui mentioned several times, intentionally or unintentionally, that she wanted to separate the family, but Zhou Man suppressed her every time. He guessed that if they don't separate in the next few years, they will break up in a few years.

Gao Haiyue was not only envious of her sister-in-law, but also a little jealous.

Although the man looks naive, he is thoughtful and kind to her, and his two sons have great potential. Listening to what she said today, Qing Lie has already taken a liking to Qing Qing in the army, and he will definitely marry her in the future. Have a good life.

The soft touch in her hands brought her back to her senses, and soon the emotion disappeared.

Other people's eldest sisters-in-law would always take things from home. When they returned to their parents' house, they would bully their sister-in-law and younger siblings to get food from her. Wang Guixiang from the same village married her to the harvest production team. As a result, she was given eye drops by her sister-in-law every day, and her mother-in-law and men treated her badly. The opinions are huge.

I cried to her for a long time two days ago. At least she didn't have to look at her mother-in-law. Men also know how to feel hot and cold. My eldest sister always thinks about her parents' family when she has good things. She even brought something as valuable as malted milk. coming.

"Sister, you are a lucky one." Gao Haiyue looked sideways at Shi Rushuang and smiled, with only intimacy in his eyes.

Shi Rushuang patted her hand gently: "Aren't you the same?"

Gao Haiyue chuckled softly: "Yes, yes, yes, we are all blessed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to be a family." "

Haiyue ?" The slightly opened courtyard door was pushed open completely. Wang Xiuying led her son in and shouted in a loud voice: "Oh, I'm almost dying of thirst after walking all the way. Get me a bowl of water." Gao Gao

. When Haiyue saw that her sister-in-law was here, she was about to get up when Shi Rushuang held her down, "I'll go, you can rest." "

Excuse me, sister."

"It's a small matter."

Wang Xiuying sat down next to Gao Haiyue. , pulling his son to sit on his lap.

"Haiyue, your sister-in-law is back again?"

"She came back at noon." Gao Haiyue frowned for a moment, then relaxed.

"These are the eggs my mother asked me to bring you. You are about to give birth. There is also a small jar of brown sugar that your brother saved. You will eat a bowl of brown sugar and egg water every day during the confinement period." As she said this, she put the green A coarse cloth parcel lay on the table nearby.

"There aren't many eggs at home, why don't you save them for Fengwa." Gao Haiyue looked at her sister-in-law's little nephew with love on her face.

This is the only Miaomiao in the Gao family, and the old man and the old lady at home usually take care of her.

"Hey, I'll save it in a while, so I'll stick with you first. Giving birth is a big deal for a woman, and she needs to take good care of her during the confinement period."

Listening to her sister-in-law's words, Gao Haiyue was confused. Usually her sister-in-law was not so generous. She would take all the delicious food into her son's hands. What happened today?

Could it be that her parents told her?

Gao Haiyue remained silent and didn't know what kind of medicine this sister-in-law was selling.

Shi Rushuang brought two bowls of water over, "Sister-in-law, you've had a hard time coming here. Are you hungry? There are sweet potatoes and steamed buns in the pot." Gao Feng finished drinking the water, "

Auntie, I'm hungry."

" Okay, Auntie will take you to eat." Shi Rushuang was happy and led Xiaodouding to the kitchen.

"My dear sister, I'm so sorry for bothering you." Wang Xiuying said politely, watching her five-year-old son enter the kitchen, she asked in a low voice: "Did your eldest sister come back alone?" "No, bring her with you

. Yuanchao and Qingqing are here to deliver food."

"Then why didn't you see these two babies?" Wang Xiuying turned around and looked around, a little confused.

"I went to the mountain to pick plums." Gao Haiyue folded the clothes on his legs. "Are you tired? Do you want to go to my room to rest?" "Okay, I just want to tell you something.

"

As soon as the two people entered the house, Gu Yuanchao came back with Gu Qingqing on his back, and Shi Qingzhou followed them with Qingmei on his back and a bamboo pole.

"Auntie! Auntie!!"

"Hey! What are you yelling about?" Shi Rushuang had just opened the lid of the pot and handed the sweet potatoes to Gao Feng when he heard the girl's screams outside, each sound louder than the last. .

She touched Gao Feng's head and said, "Feng baby, eat first. If you don't have enough, call me aunt."

"Okay, thank you, aunt."

"This kid is really sensible." Shi Rushuang had a bright smile on her face, hearing that the girl outside was not stopping. He yelled and said angrily: "Here we come."

Gu Yuanchao carefully put the girl on the bamboo stool, slowly pulled up her pants, and looked at the conspicuous red marks, "You can't apply medicine on this." Shi Rushuang

When she came out, she saw tears in her daughter's eyes. She immediately panicked: "What's wrong? Did you fall?"

"Auntie, look, are you hurting any bones?" She squatted down and gently lifted her daughter's feet and put them on her legs: "Can you move?" "Yes, it hurts."

Gu Qingqing hissed and gasped. Liang Qi: "Mom, please be gentle. I didn't fall. I accidentally rubbed it while sliding down the tree." "The bark is

too hard."

Shi Rushuang was angry and funny, and pointed her finger on her forehead: "Ah. What did mother tell you? Don't climb trees! Don't climb trees! When you go out, you have to listen to your two brothers. Have you listened?" "Listen, listen." Gu Yuanchao stood next

to Gu Qingqing and patted her gently with his big hand. He patted her little head to comfort her: "I asked Qingqing to crawl."

Shi Qingzhou put down the basket and came over and said, "Auntie, there is still me."

Shi Rushuang said angrily: "Just spoil her. Fortunately, it's nothing serious this time. Next time you dare to climb a tree, sleep on a branch for me every day and don't come back." "

Auntie, I was wrong." Gu Qingqing saw her tone softening and hurriedly He admitted his mistake and climbed up the pole: "I want to eat canned yellow peach, the one my third aunt gave me."

Shi Qingzhou said first, "I'll get it, aunt, please help Qingqing see how to do it."

"What else can I do," Shi Ru said Shuang lowered her pants, met Gu Yuanchao's worried eyes, and smiled: "This greedy cat will be fine if she eats the canned food, you don't need to worry about her." Gu Yuanchao was still worried, and gathered around Gu Qingqing to greet everyone. After wandering around for

a while, Gu Qingqing finally slapped her thigh and remembered something -

"Brother, we forgot something."

"Ah?" Gu Yuanchao took the can from Shi Qingzhou, poured it into a bowl, and handed it to her with the spoon. "What's the matter?"

Gu Qingqing took the bowl of peach syrup and said regretfully: "Bird eggs, we almost had extra food."

Shi Rushuang couldn't bear it anymore and gave her a chestnut blow on the head: "I think you look like an egg! You idiot, hurry up and eat. Don't let me think about this and dare to climb the tree again..."

Shi Rushuang thought for a long time and got a little stuck.

This girl is fearless, and I really can't think of any way to threaten her.

Gu Qingqing pushed for the next step and stirred the sugar water with a smile, "Are you going to beat me if you dare to climb a tree again?"

This meant that she couldn't bear to let go.

Shi Rushuang's thoughts changed rapidly and she suddenly smiled.

"If I don't beat you, don't you want to go to the Corps? Your foot is injured, so let your brother-in-law go." "

Aunt!" Gu Qingqing, who was pinched seven inches, suddenly succumbed. She lowered her head and lowered her head. He muttered: "...I was wrong, I won't crawl next time."

Gu Yuanchao had never seen a girl look deflated, and the corner of his mouth twitched, trying not to smile.

"Auntie." Gao Feng, who came out at some unknown time, held half a load of sweet potatoes and tugged on Shi Rushuang's clothes, "I want to eat canned food too." He looked straight at the

bowl in Gu Qingqing's hand. Before Rushuang could say anything, Gu Qingqing pushed the bowl over and said, "Okay, Feng baby, eat it. Be careful not to hit the bowl, or my uncle will beat you." "Thank you, sister Qingqing." Gao Feng held it

. The bowl and sweet potatoes were placed on the table, and they ran away happily.

Shi Rushuang shook her head and smiled: "You think it's like you, who often breaks the bowls at such a big age."

Gu Qingqing stuck out her tongue and asked Gu Yuanchao to bring two more bowls, "I'll eat with my mother-in-law." , brother and Qingzhou brother eat together, and leave the rest to grandpa and grandma to taste!"

"Eat it yourself, grandma doesn't like sweet things." Shi Rushuang raised her hand and plucked the broken hair from her daughter's forehead behind her ears. .

Gu Qingqing took a sip of sugar water and bit into the yellow peach piece: "You really don't want to eat it?"

"You really don't want to eat it." Shi Rushuang patted Gu Yuanchao and Shi Qingzhou on the shoulders: "You guys sit down and eat, later. After eating, my son chopped the firewood in the yard. We will stay here tonight and go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town early tomorrow to exchange some fabric for Qingqing to make two sets of clothes for Qingqing. It will be afternoon when the tailor shop is ready. By then we Go back directly."

"Okay, aunt, don't worry, I'm the best at chopping firewood." Gu Yuanchao ate a yellow peach and grinned with big white teeth.

Gu Qingqing showed a provocative smile and squinted at him: "So, brother, you are the leader of our Gu family."

"Here, here." Gu Yuanchao quickly made up for it: "Don't tell big brother when you go back."

Gu Xiong's position is unshakable. He can easily carry more than two hundred kilograms of wet firewood down the mountain, and he doesn't even know how many pieces he can pick up on the shoulder pole.

Shi Qingzhou watched the brother and sister bickering here with great interest. In fact, Qing Qing was unilaterally crushing them.

Shi Rushuang planned to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Her parents and brothers would be back from work later.

Wang Xiuying and Gao Haiyue talked for a while in the house, and when they heard bursts of laughter outside, they stepped out.

"Ah? This is Qingqing, you're a grown-up girl. The last time I saw you was two years ago."

She looked at Gu Qingqing up and down, and seeing how smart she was, she couldn't help but make calculations in her heart.

Gu Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable with the look in her eyes, so she tugged on Gu Yuanchao's sleeve and asked him to stand in front of her.

"Hello, aunt." She said hello anyway.

"Okay, okay." Wang Xiuying sat down next to her, "What's wrong with the leg?"

"It rubbed a little, it's okay."

"Oh, Qingqing, do you have a date at home for you? She's not too young at seventeen. I'd like to introduce you to someone. He's my nephew from my mother's side. He looks good, just like you Gu family members, and he has an honest personality..." Gu Qingqing's eyes rolled as she listened to her talk

. Turning around, she put down the bowl and hugged her legs, "Brother, my legs hurt, call me! Brother, my legs hurt."

As she said this, she actually cried, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Half of what Wang Xiuying said was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't get in or out. She stared blankly at her for a long time without saying a word.

Gu Yuanchao's arm was pinched several times, and he didn't react until he saw the girl's wet eyes.

"It doesn't hurt, Qingqing. Brother is here. Go back to the house and lie down for a while."

He hugged the girl and ran into the house. He swung the door with his right leg and put her on the kang.

The two siblings looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

"Brother Haha, you are much smarter than eldest brother!" Gu Yuanchao understood her with one look.

Gu Yuanchao lay on the wooden window, looking out through the newspaper with a hole in it, and said with some pride: "It doesn't matter who your brother is. Qingqing, that aunt hasn't come back to her senses yet." "Ha

. Haha, you didn’t see it just now, Brother Qingzhou was dumbfounded.”

Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 23 Prosperous 023 Brother, you are much smarter than my elder brotherNext chapter: Chapter 25 Boom 025 Let’s go to the Corps! (Into v… "No, he can't react as quickly as your brother." The two sang in harmony.

Gu Qingqing was sitting on the earthen kang, and she was stunned when she pulled out a handful of fried pumpkin seeds from the small table. The injured leg was stretched out against the small table, and the other leg was slightly bent, and she put her right hand on her knee to pound the pumpkin. son.

The Harvest Production Team did not produce much food, but winter melons and pumpkins were willing to bear fruits. Grandma often steamed and sliced the uneaten pumpkins and dried them into dried pumpkins for the brothers who delivered food to bring back to her as snacks.

Sweet, soft and glutinous, delicious.

"The aunt went to the kitchen to chat with the eldest aunt." Gu Yuanchao pressed his face against the yellowed newspaper, trying to see more clearly.

"Let's chat." Gu Qingqing didn't take it seriously: "Brother, aren't you going to chop firewood? Do you want me to help you." "Just your legs,

calm down, sister." Gu Yuanchao then remembered what his aunt had done. He was doing his own work and asked her: "Why don't you sleep for a while? I'll call you for dinner." "

No, I can't sleep." Gu Qingqing stood up and stuffed the last pumpkin seed into his mouth, clapped her hands and walked slowly He stood up and walked out.

"..." Gu Yuanchao followed her while chewing pumpkin seeds.

The girl was crying so hard that he thought he was seriously injured and wanted to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots when he got home.

Shi Qingzhou had already rubbed his hands and picked up an ax to chop wood. When he saw Gu Qingqing coming out, he looked at her legs and said, "Why did you get off the ground?" Gu Qingqing was amused by his words, "I'm fine

. "

Then before you..."

"The sun was too strong and walking was too tiring." So she pretended to be pitiful and let her brother carry it.

The pain is definitely painful, but it is not uncommon that it was more serious than this when I was a child. Sometimes when I accidentally hit a rock while catching a crab, my knees were bruised and bruised.

The barefoot doctor at the health center in Dagouzi Village is very good. He can rub some medicinal oil on his body and he will be jumping around for two days without any problems.

Gu Qingqing will never forget Dr. Hao Yizhen's kindness for being able to grow to such a big size smoothly.

Shi Qingzhou breathed a long sigh of relief. He had already understood his cousin's naughty spirit. He chuckled and said, "It's okay." The brothers stood some distance apart, each carrying an ax to chop firewood. Gu Qingqing was not idle either

. Carry the chopped firewood pieces under the eaves and pile them up for easy access and use.

At around five o'clock or almost six o'clock, the production team started to leave work one after another. Today they were working in the fields.

Shi Ji walked into the yard barefoot with his shoes, "We Qingqing are so diligent. There is still half a salted fish in the kitchen, let your mother cook it." "No, I want to eat sweet boiled pumpkin, grandpa

Are you tired? You wash your face first, and I'll get you a bowl of water." Gu Qingqing smiled sweetly.

"Every time I see our granddaughter smiling like this, I feel like she is holding something bad in her heart." Shi Ji turned to his old wife behind him and said.

"Someone is kind enough to pour you water and then accuses her of it. Qingqing, don't pour it for your grandpa, give it to grandma." The crow's feet at the corners of Zhou Man's eyes opened up with a smile.

"Hey! Then I won't pour it for grandpa." Gu Qingqing deserved to be happy.

When Shi Rushuang came back from work, her family members took turns to wash off the dirt on their hands and legs. Shi Rushuang called her daughter: "Qingqing, go to the kitchen and get the dishes and chopsticks. Tell your brothers to stop chopping firewood and eat first." "Okay.

"

Tianbian The full moon was faintly visible, hanging on the treetops.

They sat around the stone table. Gu Qingqing watched her grandparents move their chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up the pickled radish with her chopsticks.

Crisp, tender and refreshing, it’s the most refreshing thing to eat in summer.

Wang Xiuying kept adding vegetables to her son's bowl. Shi Rushuang spread out some pumpkin cakes. She rolled up kohlrabi shreds and handed them to Gao Feng's mouth: "Feng, eat more, and you will grow taller." Gao Feng's cheeks bulged

. It's bulging and looks like a little squirrel.

Gu Qingqing also took big bites of the pumpkin cake. Shi Rushuang had a headache when she saw how she was eating: "Qingqing, eat slowly." "

I'm hungry, Auntie!" Gu Qingqing blinked her big eyes and said in a flattering manner: "Let's go. times, I will definitely take a small bite next time."

Shi Rushuang complained helplessly to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, she has been saying this for several years. See if she has changed it." He Qiushui ate pickles and corn buns and laughed loudly: "Hey, it's okay

. Son, our Qingqing doesn't have to worry about getting married anyway, she can eat whatever she wants, it tastes good

when she eats it in big mouths." Shi Qingzhou kept nodding in agreement with A Niang's words.

It’s a blessing to be able to eat.

In the evening, the evening breeze was cool and it was rare to relax. They ate slowly and chatted about home affairs -

"Do you have a photo of the boy? Let us take a look." Zhou Man asked his daughter.

Shi Rushuang served a bowl of pumpkin porridge to my mother, "Yes, yes, your grandson keeps a close eye on her. She carries it in her pocket like a treasure and no one is allowed to touch it." "Mom! How could

I do this!" Gu Qingqing said every time. The first time he heard about the photo, his face became thinner, "I'm full, I want to go out for a walk." "I'm going too."

Gu Yuanchao put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "Let's go to the river to touch the boat. Fish?"

"Okay, wait for me. I'll get a basket."

The three siblings disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard before the adults could react.

"It's because we can't stay any longer. Qingzhou usually looks quite calm. When Qingqing came to help the country, the child's character showed up." He Qiushui broke off half of the buns and gave them to the man, and continued to ask: "Did Qinglie say that? What's your boy's personality like? What does your family do?"

Most people nowadays are poor farmers, but there are also families whose parents work in state-owned factories, like Gu Yuanchao's parents, Gu Cai works as a chef in a state-owned hotel, and Zhang Yuqing works in an enamel factory. Be a worker.

The combined monthly salary of the couple is about 40 yuan!

Nowadays, the chefs in state-owned restaurants are no worse than the workers in large state-owned factories, and they are more prestigious when told.

To be honest, Gu Yuanchao's conditions are better than Gu Xiong's.

But Gu Canyang and Gu Qinglie are more popular among families with daughters, soldiers! They all work in the army, and they can save their monthly allowances, food stamps, oil stamps, and it is an honor for the whole family if one of them joins the army.

Who doesn’t want to have a son-in-law who is a soldier?

"I didn't say that." Shi Rushuang smiled and shook her head: "Qing Lie said in his letter this time that he wanted to eat candied green plums. I guess he wanted Qingqing to go over and have a look for himself. If he likes it, we can talk about other things."

But she particularly remembers the boy's high-spirited appearance in the photo.

I'm afraid that he is a arrogant person who looks down on their family members.

Wang Xiuying saw that Gu Qingqing had no idea, and thought of the nieces from her natal family, she couldn't help but said: "Rushuang, what do your Canyang and Qinglie require in finding a wife? My natal family also has two nieces. , about the same age as Qingqing..."

Shi Rushuang's smile faded and she glanced at her lightly.

Gao Haiyue heard about what happened in the yard in the afternoon, and what she had originally been confused about gradually became clearer. She asked how her eldest sister-in-law could suddenly be so generous and give her eggs, brown sugar, and confinement.

It turned out to be the idea to target Canyang and his three siblings.

Seeing her eldest sister's bewildered expression, she was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed, but after all, it was her sister-in-law's fault for humiliating her in front of her husband's family.

"Sister-in-law, I must be looking for Canyang and Qinglie in the army. There are also many good young men in our production team. You can help your nieces check each other out tomorrow. How about it?" Wang Xiuying's family didn't talk to each other when they met, so how could they do it?

Not knowing what they meant, he said angrily: "Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Shi Rushuang didn't listen to what she said at all. She turned around and bit her ears with my mother-in-law. The three men of the Shi family were chatting about tomorrow's production team. Livelihood.

Gu Qingqing was walking on the riverside path, and the refreshing evening breeze made her squint her eyes unconsciously.

"Don't go into the water, just sit here and wait for us." Gu Yuanchao warned her, carrying the basket and Shi Qingzhou, rolling up his trousers and going into the river.

"Don't worry, my legs hurt. I can't soak in the water. I'm not stupid." Gu Qingqing sat on the grass that wasn't very deep. She casually pulled a piece of dogtail grass next to her and turned it around in her hands a few times. She felt it was boring. .

She took out the photo from her pocket, holding the foxtail grass in her mouth, and grinning like a crescent moon.

The man in the photo had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his careless look struck her heart directly. Gu Qingqing used the moonlight to trace the outline of his facial features inch by inch.

Gu Qingqing suddenly thought of something and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Canyang, that stinky asshole, used to brag about his good looks in front of her. Now that she finds someone better looking than him, can she go back to him?

I don’t know if the second brother’s army will take a vacation this year. If he can be brought back to meet his grandpa, grandma, father, mother, uncles and aunts at the end of the year... "Ah, no."

Gu Qingqing shook her head: "What are you thinking about? It’s not done yet.”

She reminded herself.

"Gu Qingqing, you have to work hard!"

Gu Yuanchao bent down to catch a fish. Just as he stood up and was about to throw it into the basket, he saw his sister clenching her hands into fists and mumbling as if she wanted to hit someone.

He shouted in confusion: "Qingqing, what are you talking about?"

"Brother, you are so awesome! If you catch a few more fish, you will have fish soup to eat tomorrow morning." Gu Qingqing reacted quickly and patted the horse on the way to smooth things over. fart.

She is most comfortable with things like stroking along the hair.

One moment she can make you jump with anger, and the next moment she is so thoughtful that her mouth is like honey, coaxing you to pour out your heart and lungs, wishing you could give her the best in the world.

Sure enough, Gu Yuanchao liked this trick: "Don't worry, we will get up tomorrow morning and eat delicious fish soup." Shi

Qingzhou was also a good fisherman, and the two brothers caught a dozen small fish in half an hour. For crucian carp, soup is definitely enough.

Gu Yuanchao was holding a bamboo basket in one hand and cloth shoes in the other. The calluses on the soles of his feet were hard enough that he wouldn't feel pain when he stepped on sand and gravel.

"Brother, please walk slower." Gu Qingqing followed them leisurely, looking at the moon and the fields from time to time.

"Do you want me to carry you?" Gu Yuanchao stopped, handed the basket to Shi Qingzhou, and asked her while putting on his shoes.

"Okay." Gu Qingqing stretched out her hand and waited for her brother to take it.

Gu Yuanchao knelt down and said with a smile: "You have been one of our brothers with bigger backs since you were a child. It seems that you haven't gained much muscle in all these years." His arm passed through the crook of her leg. Gu Yuanchao weighed it. This girl is so small. The body really doesn't weigh much.

"You must have been even thinner when you came back from the Corps. There's not much to eat there. I heard you can't even eat Chinese cabbage." "There

should still be wheat bran steamed buns." Gu Qingqing was also a little unsure: "I I heard Brother Meng Nan say that the wind and sand at the border are very windy and it is difficult to grow vegetables, but it doesn't matter. I don't like eating Chinese cabbage very much."

"Take more food stamps and money with you then. If it doesn't work, you can buy food yourself and start the fire."

Gu Qingqing lay on her brother's shoulder, with her hands around his neck and listened to him talking, her little head next to his face, feeling warm in her heart.

"I know, brother."

Gu Yuanchao slapped her head away in disgust: "Don't get so close to me, your hair will stick in my nostrils. Remember to be careful when you go out, don't go up to anything new. Pay attention to safety, you know."

"Yes, I know." Gu Qingqing tilted her head slightly, facing Shi Qingzhou, who was walking side by side with Gu Yuan, yawned and felt sleepy.

Gu Yuanchao was still thinking casually, but Gu Qingqing had already closed her eyes and dozed off.

Shi Qingzhou looked at the girl facing him, his eyes becoming softer.

By the time they got home, Gu Qingqing was already sleeping deeply. Shi Rushuang shouted several times without waking her daughter up. In the end, Gu Yuanchao directly carried her back to the room and put her gently on the kang.

Shi Rushuang pulled the patched blue cheesecloth quilt to cover her daughter, raised her hand to open the window slightly, and a cool breeze came in from outside.

"Yuanchao, Qingqing has been protected very well by you brothers since she was a child. Now that she is going to the corps, my mother-in-law is really reluctant to let her go." As she spoke, the corners of her eyes turned slightly red.

Gu Yuanchao lit a kerosene lamp and placed it next to the kang. How could he not understand the complicated emotions in his eldest aunt's heart.

The girl is the only girl in the three generations of the Gu family. Not only at home, but also in the village, she has never been wronged. But when she goes out and they are not around, Gu Yuanchao is really worried.

"Auntie, don't worry, Qingqing is smart and won't let others bully her." After thinking for a long time, he only said this.

You can't stop her and say you won't let her go, after all, you have been thinking about her for so long.

Shi Rushuang raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and patted him on the shoulder: "Qingqing is old now, so let her go out and have some adventures. Isn't it just to visit relatives? She came back in ten and a half months. Let's not talk about this anymore. ."

"Hey, okay."

Gu Yuanchao followed his aunt out and subconsciously moved gently when closing the door to prevent the wooden door from squeaking too loudly to wake her up.

Shi Rushuang chatted with her nephew for a few words, and then went to Zhou Man's room to talk to her mother-in-law.

Shi Qingzhou filled the fish tank with half a tank of water. He was afraid that wild cats would grab the fish in the middle of the night, so he used a pot lid to cover the tank, leaving a crack.

"Are you still chopping firewood?" Gu Yuanchao glanced at the ax standing in the corner.

"Come on." Shi Qingzhou handed it to him and said, "It's okay anyway, let's compete?" "

How to compete?" Gu Yuanchao became interested.

"In half an hour, whoever chops the most will go to bed first, and the one who loses the rest of the wood will finish chopping." "Okay."

Gu Yuanchao spit into his palms and rubbed them vigorously: "Let's get started.

" The family has a small population, and only his grandfather, uncle, uncle, and Qingzhou can do some hard work. Unlike their Gu family, the house is full of old men. If it rains and they can't work, they can always relax at home. , I can wash the dishes and feed the chickens.

He thought that if he could help out at the Shi family, he would do more, so that Qingzhou would save some trouble.

Zhou Man listened to the chattering laughter of the two brothers outside the window and the sound of chopping firewood. He took his daughter's hand and sat on the kang and said, "Yuan Chao is a good boy. In the past, Xiong Wa came to help with things. In the evening, He was still chopping and picking firewood on the mountain, and let him rest here for a night before going back. The next day, there were neat piles of chopped firewood beside the wall."

Zhou Man liked the children of the Gu family from the bottom of his heart.

He is honest and kind, never cheats, looks delicate and pretty, and always says hello to people he meets.

"Rushuang," Zhou Man's eyes were soft and soft: "It has been about twenty years since you married into the Gu family. Before you got married, your father and I told you that if you were wronged in the Gu family, you should come back to your parents' family." Shi

Rushuang Hearing this, he also laughed: "I know my parents love me from the bottom of their hearts." When other people's daughters get married, they just throw away the water. How can they say that they often return to their parents' home.

"Your mother-in-law loves you too." Zhou Man looked at his daughter's still young face and sighed in his heart: "Every time you go home, you never say a bad word to your mother-in-law in front of me. Mother knows that you have lived in the Gu family. It makes you feel at ease."

"My uncle always comes with you during the holidays. Others say that my uncle is honest and honest. Over the years, my mother has noticed that he is really kind. Every time he comes back, he always has a smile on his face. He is not impatient at all, nor does he dislike our family. Instead, he often delivers food and vegetables." "

Rushuang, you must honor your parents-in-law in the future, and don't get angry with your uncle. Now that he has become the captain, he has even greater responsibilities. And your brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are all kind-hearted people. Every time I think about it, I feel lucky that my daughter can marry into such a harmonious family." Shi Rushuang nodded with a smile: "Mother, you don't have to do this

. "I know it too."

"Mom is just worried about Qingqing's child now. Although she is not as pampered as a girl in the city, she has been pampered by a room full of old and young men, and your mother-in-law treats her like a darling. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Man patted the back of his daughter's hand: "I'm just afraid that she will get used to things going well and get married in the future..." She didn't say the rest of the words.

But Shi Rushuang could already guess it.

Mother was simply afraid that Qingqing would marry into another family, and her husband's family and his family would not be as doting on her as the Gu family.

"Mom, don't worry, Qingqing has so many brothers to support her. Even though she is usually careless, she is actually as considerate as her father. Who do you think she has had a hard time with since she was a child?" Shi Rushuang comforted my mother

: "You know that Qian Guihua in our village, right? She is a famous gossip from all over the country. Who hasn't been spoken to behind her back by her? Every time she records her work points, she brings a notebook with her to keep track of the numbers, for fear that others will lose a little to her."

Zhou Man was amused by his daughter, and his eyebrows widened: "Qian Guihua's mother-in-law is from the production team next to us. The old Qian family is famous for being picky and never lets others take advantage of them." "Yes, but you can't be picky again

. I can't believe that your granddaughter is very capable. Have you ever heard a word of gossip about Qing Qing'er from her? Our skinny monkey often goes to her house to get food." "So our Qing Qing is really a pain in the ass

. I'm so happy." Zhou Man's eyes softened into puddles of water when he mentioned his grandson.

"No, she, she has known how to say nice words to make people happy just for the little food since she was a child. Dad was right today. The happier she smiles, the sweeter she is, the bigger her plans are, and she is holding evil thoughts in her heart. "

"As for your granddaughter, if she doesn't bully others, I will be like Amitabha." "

Then you know it yourself, so what are you worried about?" Zhou Man looked at his daughter with a smile.

Shi Rushuang was stunned for a while, then she lay down on my mother's face and covered her face with a smile: "I've been doing it for a long time, but you're the one trying to get rid of me." Zhou Man gently stroked her back, "Children will grow up eventually

. Seeing that you have been unconscious for a day, I knew that you were worried about Qingqing going to the army." "

You, Canyang and Qinglie joined the army when they were not as old as Qingqing. They also fought several battles. I didn't see you so worried. Why can't you do it with Qingqing?"

"This is different. Qingqing is a girl." Shi Rushuang buried her head on my mother's shoulder and said in a low voice, "I just can't bear it." "

Mom knows." Zhou Man patted her back repeatedly. When her daughter was going to marry into the Gu family, she was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night long.

Now that she sees her daughter being happy, she feels happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

"Qingqing has grown up. She has to be allowed to grow up and stand on her own."

When Gu Qingqing was drowsily asleep, she felt a warm touch approaching her side. Her nose moved. It was the familiar feeling on her mother-in-law. The soapy smell.

She whispered softly: "Auntie." She rolled into the familiar and warm embrace.

Shi Rushuang looked lovingly at her daughter's sleeping face, raised her hands to tuck the quilt, and gently patted her beloved baby in her arms——

"Auntie is here, Qingqing, please go to sleep."

Early the next morning, Shi Rushuang got up and helped my mother and sister-in-law make breakfast. Gu Qingqing rubbed her eyes and washed up in a daze. After breakfast, she packed up her things and met her grandparents. The uncles and aunts said hello and went to town in the production team's ox cart.

Gu Yuanchao and Shi Rushuang sat on both sides. She sat in the middle and yawned, her eyes dim.

"If you want to sleep, just sleep a little longer." Shi Rushuang calculated how much fabric the cloth coupons in his hand could be exchanged for and how much it would cost to go to a tailor shop to make clothes.

After hearing this, Gu Qingqing leaned on Gu Yuanchao's arm and rubbed it twice before falling asleep.

Shi Rushuang was helpless. She would be really helpless if she stayed with her daughter for a long time.

Gu Yuanchao grabbed the green plum basket next to him with one hand to prevent it from falling, and held the girl's back with the other hand to prevent her from flying out when the cart bumped.

"We're here. Rushuang, why don't you stay for two more days when you finally come back?" The driver of the cattle cart was the handlebar type on the team.

"I have a lot to do at home, so I have to rush back. Uncle, please excuse me." "

Where are you, people from a village are so polite. There is the supply and marketing cooperative in front of you, where should I put you?" "

Okay, thank you, uncle."

"Qingqing, "Shi Rushuang got off the oxcart and shook her daughter awake: "We are in town. Can Aniang pull some cloth for you and make some new clothes?" "Okay!" Gu Qingqing was pulled by Shi Rushuang

. , first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth, and then went to the tailor shop.

The master of the tailor shop was wearing a pair of reading glasses, "You have quite a lot of fabric. Can you make two sets of summer shirts and two sets of long gowns?" "

Okay, as you say." Shi Rushuang readily agreed.

"So we can make one more set." The old master used a ruler and chalk to draw a line on the fabric: "How about making a gown for your daughter?" "No need," Shi Rushuang glanced at the girl beside him

. The nephew who spoke said, "Let's make another robe for the boy."

"Okay." The master made the pattern neatly, measured the sizes of Gu Qingqing and Gu Yuanchao, and started to use the sewing machine.

"You guys sit outside and wait.

You can pick it up in the afternoon." "Okay, please excuse me." Shi Rushuang took her daughter out: "Qingqing, I will take you around."

(Into v… Turn off the lights small medium large Previous chapter: Chapter 24 Prosperity 024 How about taking him home for the New Year...Next chapter: Chapter 26 Prosperous 026 What a fate Most of the bazaars were selling agricultural and sideline products from production teams. The weather was hot, so Shi Rushuang bought a big bag of oranges for five cents.

Gu Yuanchao followed Gu Qingqing carrying oranges. He put the green plum basket in the tailor shop without worrying about anyone taking it away.

Gu Qingqing peeled off the orange and gave it to her mother-in-law in half. When she saw a rabbit seller, she ran over and squatted there for a long time. She smiled and shook her head when the stall owner asked: "Uncle, I won't buy it." Look, I don’t know how to raise it.”

“Rabbits are easy to raise, sister. Just pull out a few unwanted cabbage leaves and give them to them.” The stall owner enthusiastically promoted.

Gu Qingqing thought for a while, but still refused: "No, thank you, uncle."

Shi Rushuang didn't plan to buy anything, but just took the children for a walk.

All major production teams come here to sell surplus vegetables and sweet potatoes, and their invincible production team has no shortage of these.

Gu Yuanchao was thinking about the bag of green plums, peeling orange peels and asked his aunt, "Should we buy some glass jars to make candied green plums?" "No."

Shi Rushuang's peripheral vision fell on his daughter who was looking around. , smiled and said: "The canned oranges and peaches your mother brought back in previous years were all eaten by the greedy cat. There are many glass jars at home. Yuan Korea, are you hungry?" It was almost ten o'clock when they arrived in town, and they went

again The supply and marketing cooperative bought cloth and went to the tailor shop. It was almost time to have lunch.

"A bit." Gu Yuanchao touched his belly and grinned sheepishly.

"Qingqing," Shi Rushuang called her daughter: "Come here, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat buns to eat."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing ran over in a hurry, "Mommy, I still want to eat fried dough sticks~"

" It's all up to you."

When he reached the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Shi Rushuang suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Auntie? You don't want to eat meat buns?" Gu Qingqing's big black and white eyes looked at Shi Rushuang eagerly.

"Well, I won't eat anymore."

Glancing at her daughter who was about to go to the corps, and then at her nephew who was looking around with his arms folded, she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Let's go to a state-owned restaurant to eat!" "Huh?" Gu Qingqing suddenly hugged her mother's shaking hand. Stopped and didn't react for a long time.

What did grandma say?

She turned her head in confusion and looked at her brother.

Gu Yuanchao was also dumbfounded: "Auntie, are you going to a restaurant?"

"To a restaurant." Shi Rushuang's eyes were firm, and she took the two children on the left and right to a state-owned hotel not far from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Gu Qingqing didn't react until the food was served.

Looking at the sauced beef, pork and pickled cabbage noodles and a large pot of pork and green onion dumplings on the table, Gu Qingqing pinched Gu Yuanchao's thigh.

Isn't this a dream? !

She couldn't help but swallow.

"Qingqing, it hurts, let go." Gu Yuan grinned at him, and then Gu Qingqing let go.

"Eat it." Shi Rushuang served them both dumplings with a smile on her face, and the white porcelain bowl was filled to the brim.

The brother and sister looked at each other, picked up their chopsticks, and started eating.

Shi Rushuang shook his head: "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, no one will compete with you." There are

very few people coming to the state-owned restaurant, they are all those who are on business trips from other places to have a meal.

A portion of beef with soy sauce costs 80 cents, and a portion of pork and green onion dumplings costs about three kilograms and 2.5 yuan. Shi Rushuang asked for half a portion.

The pork, pickled cabbage and vermicelli noodles cost 18 cents, which added up to a total of 2 yuan and 23 cents, plus a pound of food stamps.

Although she was shocked by A Niang's generosity today, Gu Qingqing's food was not to mention delicious.

The dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions are full of oil when you bite them, and the soy sauce beef is even more fragrant. Gu Yuanchao kept sucking the vermicelli in his mouth, and looked up from time to time: "Auntie, you can eat it too." "I'm eating it." Shi

Rushuang He picked up the bowl and filled it with two dumplings and a large bowl of soup, and drank it slowly.

Gu Qingqing bit into the soy sauce beef and said with emotion: "Mom, today is my happiest day."

"Little brat," Shi Rushuang scolded her with a smile, "You're a bit promising, aren't you? Your third uncle doesn't always make delicious food for you when you come home. His skills are not any worse than this, right?" She lightly tapped her daughter's forehead with her finger

. "You'll have good days ahead of you, so don't worry, hurry up and eat."

Gu Yuanchao and Gu Qingqing ate until their bellies were full. Gu Qingqing hiccupped and leaned half of her body on her brother.

"I can't walk anymore." I was really exhausted.

And he still eats meat until he is full.

After Shi Rushuang paid for the food stamps, she put the change back into her pocket and put it away carefully. Seeing her daughter's appearance, she burst into laughter.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, they went to the tailor shop to pick up the fabric. They measured the size without trying it on, they just put it in the green plum basket and Gu Yuanchao just carried it on his back.

Shi Rushuang took her two children to the bus stop. After waiting for half an hour, the bus came. Zhang Dahong greeted him warmly: "Going back to Datunzi Village?" "Yes," Shi Rushuang sat down and took it from his pocket with a smile

. She paid six one-cent bills and said, "I stayed at my parents' house for one night, and I have to go back to work."

Gu Qingqing still sat by the window, and Gu Yuanchao sat next to her, with a bamboo basket filled with green plums placed in front of the seat.

There was no one in the car today and there were many empty seats. Zhang Dahong sat down in front of Shi Rushuang, leaning on the backrest and chatting with her: "Isn't your man the production captain? Let him arrange some easy work for you." ."

Shi Rushuang said "Hi", "Sister Dahong, please don't say that, it will have a bad impact on others. The team leader serves the members, how can he use power for personal gain? I won't hold him back. The legs are ready, and the work is the same."

"Blame me, blame me." Zhang Dahong realized something was wrong, and patted his mouth: "Girl, don't take it seriously, I'm used to grinning so much that I can't hold the door. ."

"It's okay."

It was five o'clock when we arrived in town, and the ox cart of the Invincible Production Team came to the grain bureau to deliver grain and took them back.

It was past six o'clock when she got home. Gu Qingqing stood at the door of the courtyard and sniffed when she saw the smoke rising from the roof.

Oops, I’m full and can’t eat anymore.

I still haven’t eaten up what I ate for lunch.

"Qing Qingbao is back." Gu Bao just finished work and walked into the yard holding her shoulders from behind: "What are you doing at the door? You don't recognize the door when you go out? I miss you so much." He just finished speaking

. , the little yellow dog ran wagging its tail and kept rubbing against her legs. Gu Qingqing bent down and held it in her arms, rubbing its furry head.

She combed the hair on Rice's head with her slender fingers, and the little yellow dog grunted comfortably.

"Qingqing is back?" Zhang Cuifen came out of the kitchen, "Grandma, look how many plums you picked?"

Gu Yuanchao put down the bamboo basket, and Zhang Cuifen came over to take a look: "Oh, there are so many."

"Grandma, my grandma Haven't mother and Weiguo returned yet?" Gu Yuanchao poured a glass of water.

"No, I guess it will be tomorrow. It's rare for your mother-in-law to return to her parents' home, so she deserves to stay for two more days." "Lian Xin didn't come back either?" Shi Rushuang brought

a basin over to get water to wash the green plums. It will be later. The wind is strong, so I can put it on the wall to dry for a while before bottling it.

"No, she lives far away." Zhang Cuifen touched a few handfuls of her granddaughter's head and helped to make green plums with satisfaction: "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative today and bought two kilograms of sugar. It should be enough with the leftovers."

"That's enough, that's enough." Shi Rushuang teased her youngest son who was in the army: "His few jars of candied green plums have used up our family's sugar for a year." Gu Tiezhu and his sons came back from the fields one after another

. A boy went to the mountain to chop wood. Gu Xiong was not at home, so they had more things to do after work.

"Qingqing is back?" Gu Jin saw his daughter moving a chair to enjoy the shade in the yard, and asked with a smile: "Did you enjoy going to grandpa and grandma's house?" "It was fun." Gu Qingqing thought of the beef with soy sauce at noon, and she was still unsatisfied

. He licked the corner of his mouth and said, "My mother-in-law took us to a state-owned restaurant for dinner today!"

Gu Jin took a handkerchief and shook water next to the well to wash his face: "Is it as delicious as your uncle's cooking?" "

Absolutely. Third uncle doesn’t usually cook so much meat.”

This happened to be heard by Gu Cai who was serving the dishes. He curled his lips and said, "You little heartless boy, this is not your grandma's fault. The chickens and ducks have to be kept for laying eggs. Your third uncle also wants to cook meat for you, but your third uncle also wants to cook meat for you." No way."

Zhang Cuifen slapped her son on the back of the head and said with a cold face: "As soon as I came back, I was thinking about harming my chickens and ducks. Go away and block me." Gu Cai stepped aside: "Me

neither No matter how much you eat, your grandchildren will eat it, as well as A Bao."

Gu Bao looked innocent: "Brother, when will you return to the city?"

Gu Tiezhu was sitting in front of the stone table, knocking on the cigarette pole, and heard Lao Laizi I couldn't help but be happy.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Cuifen and her eldest daughter-in-law made five cans of candied green plums overnight, kneaded the dough and started steaming steamed buns and corn, thinking that her granddaughter could take them with her on the train the next day.

The kerosene lamp in the kitchen kept flickering, and Gu Qingqing could see the figure on the paper on the kitchen window from the window of her room.

Thinking of going to the Corps tomorrow, she couldn't sleep.

Putting her hands behind her head, she looked sideways at the round moon outside the window.

It’s really nice to have grandpa, grandma, father, mother, uncles, aunts and brothers here.

The next day, she rarely got up early, and the sun had just risen from the sky.

"Qing Qing," Zhang Cuifen packed up the package, tied it tightly and put it on the table: "Hurry up and wash your face and eat. Your father will be back soon." "Is father out?" After saying this, she responded

. come over.

She slept so late last night that she didn't even hear her father's whistle. She used to get up at seven or eight o'clock, but today she felt that she was very early at six o'clock.

"I told you that I have something to do with your Uncle Qin. He will take you to the train station later." Shi Rushuang was counting the food stamps and money and putting them into the small cloth pocket she had sewn for her daughter.

"Oh, let me eat first." Gu Qingqing washed up and went to the kitchen. When she opened the lid of the pot, she saw hot sweet potatoes and cornmeal buns. Her uncle and brothers had finished eating and went to work. There were only a few women at home. .

Shi Rushuang went into the kitchen and handed the cloth bag to her: "Here are the money and tickets. Keep them close to your body and don't put them in the package. When you go to the station, your father will take you to buy the tickets and take you to the platform to get on the train." When you're hungry on the train, just grab something to eat from the package. Your grandma brought you corn and white flour steamed buns, as well as fried pumpkin seeds and fried soybeans. Don't say anything when others ask you, do you understand?" Shi Rushuang met her daughter

. There was no response for a long time, so he asked again: "Did you hear what grandma said?" "

I heard it, I heard it, don't tell others where I live and what I do, and I can't take out the money. I just eat when I'm hungry. Steamed buns and corn."

"Yes." Shi Rushuang poked her daughter's bulging cheeks, "If you get off the bus and can't leave, just ask the conductor at the station." "I know!" Gu Qingqing swallowed the steamed buns in her mouth

. , rubbed his face against Shi Rushuang's shoulder: "Mom, I'll be back in half a month, you don't have to miss me too much." "What's there to think about? The house is much quieter after the troublemakers are out. I It's not too late to be happy

." Even though she said this, Shi Rushuang's eyes still showed worry and reluctance unconsciously.

"Qing Qing'er——" A bicycle bell jingled outside the courtyard gate, "Have you finished eating? Dad will take you to the station." "Here it comes!"

Gu Qingqing grabbed the package on the table and said Don't tell me, it's quite heavy.

She took another bite of a steamed bun and ran out of the hospital in a hurry: "Grandma, grandma, please take care of your health at home! Help me tell my uncle to take care of the rice!!!" Zhang Cuifen saw her getting on the back seat of the bicycle, and she was so excited

. He said in a voice: "You must be careful outside, you know? When you come back, grandma will cook braised pork for you." "

Okay!"

"Let's go, mother, Rushuang, do what you should do, Qing You have nothing to worry about since you are so old." Gu Jin pedaled his bicycle and wandered along the sandy path.

The bicycle was heading towards the town facing the rising sun. Gu Qingqing hugged the package tightly in her arms and dug the seat under Gu Jin's butt with her other hand.

"Dad, has the summer grain distribution been finished?" She thought of the ox cart that the production team went to the grain bureau to deliver grain yesterday.

"We are all looking forward to dividing the grain. Let's divide it. Let's follow your old master Xu's method of dividing the grain. Seven people work three times. Wait until the end of the year to see the late rice production and then ration it again." Grain distribution is not only about dividing rice, but

also Various crops such as sweet potatoes, corns, potatoes, and brown rice are all in proportion.

"Are the educated youth points also divided?" Gu Qingqing asked.

"No, we can really starve them." In fact, the reserves of food left by the team every year are to cope with various situations, such as famine, food-deficient households, and newly arrived educated youth.

They just went to the countryside, and the labor points they participated in were not enough, so they were paid from the grain reserves. You can't really make people work hungry.

Gu Qingqing felt relieved and chatted with her father about growing medicinal herbs, squinting and enjoying the gentle morning breeze.

When they arrived at the train station, Gu Jin queued up to buy her a train ticket to the border town, which cost her seven yuan and fifty-two cents.

After sending Gu Qingqing to find a seat in the car, before he got off the car, he went to the policeman and asked him to take care of his daughter along the way, and then got off the car.

The train whistle started, and Gu Jin stood outside the window and waved to her. Although he said he wasn't worried, he still felt a little sad.

Nowadays, a letter of introduction is required when traveling far away. Gu Qingqing also has a handwritten letter stamped with the brigade seal in her pocket. She has never traveled far away. When the flight attendant came to check the letter of introduction and the train ticket, she was still looking at the train with curiosity. outside.

"Comrade, please show me your train ticket and letter of introduction."

The young woman next to Gu Qingqing patted her arm gently and whispered: "Sister, the ticket has been checked."

Gu Qingqing came back to her senses and hurriedly Open the package and hand over the letter of introduction and ticket.

"Hello, this is my letter of introduction and train ticket."

The flight attendant saw the words "The brigade agrees that Comrade Gu Qingqing, a member of the commune, to visit relatives in the Construction Corps" and the red seal on the letter of introduction. He knew that she was a family member of a military member, and his tone softened: "Thank you for your cooperation. Please put it away. If you need anything, you can call me."

Gu Qingqing was flattered: "Okay, please excuse me."
